It is not a 100% API compatible +replacement though. Lots of methods got cleaned up, generics +got added and we dropped a lot of unused code. + + +Relation to Commons-* + +maven-shared-utils internally use commons-io. We shade all commons +classes into our own private package to prevent classpatch clashes. +This is the reason why any public API in maven-shared-utils must +avoid to expose commons classe directly. Most times it's sufficient +to just create an empty subclass and expose that instead.
